Entry fee+buy in?

Do you mean this is a rebuy?


How many chips to start, how many when you rebuy, when can you rebuy and what is the blind schedule.

Entry Fee: $100.00 per player
Entry fee includes: meal & beverage - chance to win door prizes


Buy-In: $50.00 within the first hour


sounds to me like the 50.00 goes to the prize pool and the 100.00 to charity, less meal,beverage and door prize

I contacted both and neither sanctions this event. No licence necessary because it is not-for-profit and all proceeds are accounted for.

It is actually a re-buy for half the amount of starting chips. Looks like 5000 starting amount, re-buy-in for 2500. The proceeds will he handled as follows;

Total entry fees (-) minus expenses = net proceeds
Net proceeds divided by two, half goes to charity the other half will be distributed to 12 placing players according to percentage breakdown. We are in the process of securing a tournament director who will finalize all those details.

Yes, it's a re-buy-in for $50.00. Looks like we start with 5000 in chips. As soon as our tournament director is secured, all those details will be finialized and available.

so... a likely 60+% rake, not yet structured event that is unlicensed at a time when the cops are cracking down on illegal games? for registration can i send a moneygram to your p.o. box in nigeria? this may not be the best place to recruit players. i'd try putting up a poster at the gamblers anonymous meeting hall.

seriously, though, good luck with the fundraising.

Dear Mr. Pompous,
Thank you so much for your most positive comments. Much appreciated. For your information (although it seems you know everything) we have checked with the OLG and AGCO, both have indicated no problem. We are also checking with the local OPP just to be sure. All proceeds (if you read the ad) will go to "charity-expenses-prizes", no rake, no profit. Hopefully you're very busy that day and can't attend! We will post any new developments as they are available.
Thank you once again for your written support.

Dear Mr. New guy

Ask yourself, do you not think that in the many years that this board has been running, that this topic has not come up repeatedly?

Your game is illegal, you will not likely gain many players on here. Fair warning by the way, police have trolled this board before, so you may want to hurry up on that OPP check. Your game is illegal if you're taking any $ from the prize pool for any reason (in this case, expenses and prizes).

Pkrfce up there may not be the most tactful, but he's right.

Mark

Dear Mark,
Much better approach than "buddy". Thanks for your comments. That is the information we are looking for. I posted here some time ago asking for advice, now it's coming. If the event is illegal, we will simply cancel the tourney. Thanks again for your information and tact. Much appreciated.

come on everyone, it is a scent-free event, so cut the organizer some slack. That should easily disqualify 99% of the forum members.

Does this mean I can't have Indian buffet the night before the event? your thoughts?
